Hello Kern, I have main.pdf downloaded and I believe I have followed the various steps in phase II to the letter. I have come to the point where I need some tools to diagnose what is wrong. I am pretty sure that the problem is due to some sort of security settings in the mysql database but I am not able to see what that could and the manual has not been to any help in that respect
